How to Check and Tighten Screws on Your Get Laid Bed for Long-Lasting Comfort

At Get Laid Beds, every bed is built with premium materials and timeless craftsmanship. To help you get the most from your bed over the years, a little routine care goes a long way. One simple yet effective way to keep your bed in top condition? Checking and tightening the screws from time to time.

Think of it as giving your bed a quick tune-up, ensuring it stays as solid, quiet, and beautiful as the day it arrived.

What You’ll Need

Before you begin, grab a few basic tools:

• The Allen key included with your bed (or a 4mm replacement)

• A standard Phillips head screwdriver

• A soft cloth or flashlight (optional for better visibility)

No technical skills required, just a few minutes and a little care.

Step 1: Give Your Bed a Quick Look

Every few months, it's a good idea to visually inspect your bed frame. Focus on:

• Corner joints where side rails meet headboard and footboard

• Centre support rail (on larger sizes)

• Slats if they’re part of your model

This check isn’t about finding problems, it’s about keeping everything beautifully aligned and secure.

Step 2: Gently Tighten the Screws

Using your Allen key and screwdriver:

1. Go around your bed and give each screw a gentle turn to ensure its snug.

2. Work evenly across all sides, this keeps pressure balanced and frame stability strong.

3. There’s no need to overtighten; just a firm twist is perfect.

This quick step helps maintain the precise, handcrafted fit of your bed frame.

Step 3: Enjoy the Results

Once tightened, give the bed a little bounce or press down gently in a few spots. You'll likely notice:

• A reassuring stillness

• A continued sense of solid support

• That lovely, creak-free quiet that only a well-made wooden bed can deliver

This isn’t about fixing a flaw, it’s about keeping your bed performing its best, year after year.

Pro Tip: Make It a Seasonal Habit

Just like flipping a mattress or airing out your duvet, tightening the screws on your bed can be part of your seasonal routine. We recommend doing it:

• Every 3–6 months

• When deep-cleaning the bedroom

• Or simply whenever you're changing the room around

Your Get Laid Bed is designed to last for decades, this small habit helps it stay as comfortable and elegant as ever.
